In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Canberra, Australia with Kimia Akbari, Sarah Khorsandi and Rafie Khorsandi who sing “O Son of Desire” based on a passage from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

This song was filmed and recorded in Canberra, Australia in November 2023.
O SON OF DESIRE! Give ear unto this: Never shall mortal eye recognize the everlasting Beauty, nor the lifeless heart delight in aught but in the withered bloom. For like seeketh like, and taketh pleasure in the company of its kind.
